DeNiM

“Je m’en fous des critiques. J’écris pour les gens comme moi.”

Dev Nyuki Moretti, aka DeNiM, is a daring, self-taught poet and fiction writer whose work pulses with urgency and innovation. Specializing in neuroqueer romantic vignettes, DeNiM crafts stories and poems that challenge societal norms and celebrate the beauty of difference. Their characters — like their creator — are determined, risk-taking thinkers, unimpressed by tradition, and unconcerned with external validation.

Born into a world of rigid expectations, DeNiM found solace and liberation in words. After a seven-year silence, poetry became their trumpet — sounding out against oppressive, supremacist systems and offering paths toward freedom, especially for those navigating trauma and neurodivergence. Their writing is a vivid exploration of introspection, curiosity, and the quest for self-accommodation in a society that often refuses it.

DeNiM draws inspiration from speculative science fiction, magical realism, and the extraordinary stories of “ordinary” people, with a special place in their heart for works by LGBTQIA2S+ and autistic creators. Their poetry and fiction are available at the Queer Baobab’s Ko-fi shop and on Amazon.
